This game was particularly frustrating to Steeler fans. One week previous, the Steelers beat the San Francisco 49ers in San Francisco being the only team to beat the 49ers that year going 15-1 on the way to winning the Super Bowl. Then coming back East to play one of the worst teams of the season, the Indianapolis Colts, who had only 2 wins at that point and 4 total on the year, they lost on a last minute improbable play after leading throughout the game. The Colts third string quarterback, Mike Pagel, came off the bench in the third quarter and was leading a final minute drive from their 20. On the Colts 40 with 34 seconds left, Pagel avoided a near sack, scrambled right and threw down the middle of the field to WR Bernard Henry. The ball however went directly to the hands of Steeler CB Sam Washington who bobbled the ball. Between Washington and a few other Steeler defenders, WR Ray Butler burst through the gap, snatched the ball in the air and ran untouched 54 yards for the touchdown. The extra point sealed the game. "And that's why they play the game."
